the first non-X desktop (and one of the most cluttered)? Oh, and I really must straighten up the pic one of these days.... [ 03-04-2003, 02:56 AM: Message edited by: Highmac ]

There is a huge bug at my desktop so that I will motivate myself to kill the bugs in X Overload.
I didn't make create the desktop. It's that messy.

This is fun, there are a lot of neat desktops, and mine could be the messiest of the messiest of all. But how do you convert it to a .jpg or post it?
Thanks

I have always wondered how to do this with simpletext pictures. I have never been able to convert them to .jpg.
Graphic Converter gives me an error message with Simpletext too.

Graphic Converter 4.5.4 will open the Desktop pics...you can then use GC to reduce the picture size and resolution and save it web ready.

I forgot to mention you need a web site to put your picture on before it can be posted here...at least I think that's the only way.
If you don't have a web site, then you can email the picture to someone who then can put it on their site and send you a URL to use when you post.
Email it to me and I'll get a URL for you.

The globe in the toolbar is a nifty discovery:
IC Switch lets you "quickly and easily (change) your default emailer, Web browser, and news reader, simply by choosing an item from a menu displayed in all applications."
Nice stuff. Saves messing with the Internet prefs.

I like the way you've even "themed" your icons to your dogs! There are some lovely DTs here.
Where d'you all go for them, if they're not your very own pix? I soon got bored with the selection at places like MacDesktops, but have started to pillage people's art galleries. There's a host of such wonderful work out there.
I found that if you start at a place like, say
digital blasphemy (odd name!), and follow through on the user galleries, and then to their friends, you "meet" a lot of very talented people.

Waaay to GO! and, thanks for starting this kind of thread again. It's always interesting.
Looking at one item on HighMac's DT reminds me of another amusing thread of a long time ago. Think I'll start one of those, again.
Stay tuned.

Pbase.com is my favourite, as you can pick out the URL for an individual picture. http://www.pbase.com/image/2064890 for example
I am glad you brought this to my attention, as this is an important feature.

Snuffy, I love those goats! Wouldn't mind one myself. Did you see the 2004 GTO?
2004 Pontiac GTO
I still prefer this one.

I will try this with Shutterfly and my others, thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Just got pictures of new lambs and Border Collies this morning, so I will try it with these.

You have to open the slide show first and let the image you want fully load before mousing down.
It does work.
This picture
is from
this album.

Here is what I get when I try my Mac album pages, javascript for the slide shows,

Just learned how to do it with ImageEvent, still can't get it to work with the Mac album,,,,,,,,,,,,, Confusing for me?
Egads, Carter, edit this thing again, image waaaaay too big, but shows Max, my grandson up close, and that I am learning!

Actually it's easier in Netscape.
Just go to the "Copy link location" or "Copy Image Location" in the popup and you have the address on your clipboard ready to paste.
Cute kid! Just warn us when he goes out on the road.

Two more bits of advice if you can stand it. If you want to link to the full size picture rather than the thumbnail, click on the picture and wait for it to load within the slide show, then mouse down and copy that link. The same pic you have above full-sized would be
http://homepage.mac.com/janec3/.Pictures/2...20sunset%21.jpg
Notice the "thumnail" and additional numbers are absent from the address you have above.
Second, to avoid the extra wide box that occurs when you have a really long URL do the following:
• In the Reply box, when you have reached the point in your post for the URL, click the URL box that is below the typing window (scroll down) under the "Instant UBB Code" label
• Paste the URL in the window that pops open, click OK
• A second blank window will present with the word "website" in it. Type a word or more to describe the page to which you are linking. Click OK.
You will get the above linked page in this form.
What a Sunset!
